THE WHITE WOLF (SPACE SHIP DIVA)

Everyone ends up on the SPACESHIP DIVA. YURIN thanks FLIT for his help and hands him her RIBBON before suddenly disappearing.

FLIT is then introduced to the DIVA and all it’s features. One of those is the fabulous AGE BUILDER that allows for various MOBILE SUIT UPGRADES to be manufactured. The young hero is also introduced to ULF, a white haired MOBILE SUIT PILOT who is quite full of himself. He challenges FLIT to a match that ends with a draw, due to the appearance of the U.E.

When FLIT reveals to EMILY that he doesn't plan on staying in TORDIA, but instead wants to focus on defeating the U.E., his friend is very surprised. EMILY does understand FLIT'S wish to protect the universe from the threat of the U.E...

To bring an end to the conflict on VARDEHN, FLIT uses the ever evolving tech of his friend VARGAS. Through this, GUNDAM gains a new form called TITOS.

"STOP THE FIGHTING! OUR ENEMIES ARE THE U.E.!!!"

He's inside an impressive new MOBILE SUIT: G EXCES!

THE RIGHT THING TO DO (SPACE SHIP DIVA)

Before the incoming forces of the U.E. can be driven out of VARDEHN, FLIT has a couple of things to learn:

First of all, ULF'S MOBILE SUIT is the work of a factory that goes by the name of MADORNA.

Second, an important name is dropped for the first time: JAQUE DOLE, a suspicious merchant whose deals might be of great importance to the events happening in this universe.

Also, CAPTAIN GRUDECK and FLIT share a past: GRUDECK'S family, just like FLIT'S, was killed 14 years ago during the attack called ANGEL'S FALL.

And lastly, the young hero learns that because of that past, GRUDECK, who has already found out the whereabouts of the U.E.'S stronghold, plans to prioritize the destruciton of the U.E. over his order to emigrate NORA'S inhabitants. More than anything he wishes to rid the COLONIES of the U.E.

Luckily, GRUDECK'S entire crew has his back. Together, they all decide to support VARDEHN in the coming battle. Afterwards, they are going to focus on the AMBAT STRONGHOLD.

With everyone doing their best, COLONY VARDEHN can be saved... for now.

ONWARDS TO MINSRY (SPACE SHIP DIVA)

Still mourning the loss of ZARAM'S lead DON BOYAGE, the crew heads of to COLONY MINSRY. It is there, that GRUDECK wants to complete the last preparations before heading of to the U.E. STRONGHOLD. And so the DIVA's journey continues…

FLIT, meanwhile, can't stop thinking about all the friends that they have lost. Did he really make things better? Or... was awakening the GUNDAM a mistake? YURIN'S RIBBON in hand, he starts thinking about her. Will they ever meet again?

The answers to his questions are right around the corner.

But is FLIT really ready to face them?
